The crash is a bug, and bugs need fixing.
You first patch looked okay to me. I suggested dropping the null check
in spapr_create_fdt_skel(), because I feel it's papering over the bug
you fix.
This isn't a review of your second attempt, it's encouragement. I
haven't looked at this version, nor have I thought through Alex's idea
to patch machine->boot_order in qemu_boot_set().
